Carnivores...? At Gorilla Tango

#InnerNerd

My dear friend D. Matthew Beyer wrote a wonderful play. I was very honored to have participated in the initial staged reading, featured at the Trellis new play reading series at the Greenhouse Theatre. We had a wonderful time playing.

That same day, he was able to tell us that he signed a contract with Gorilla Tango to produce his show. Shortly after, I was excited to say that had the chance to play in the full show as well!

I was joined by Nicole Velasco Lockard, Dan Sonenberg, Scott Jackoway, Jared Hecht, and Ben Claus. Along with stage management by Sarah E. Whitcomb and continued direction by Andrew Huber.

This play was so charming: six young adults at their regularly scheduled time to play Dungeons and Dragons. "Running from the pressure to be a productive member of society, Merrill stumbles into the wonderfully weird world of Dungeons and Dragons. Surrounded by friends and shenanigans, dice are rolled, roles are played, and what starts off as just a game somehow becomes an adventure."

Seemingly out-of-reach for some crowds, everyone I spoke to regardless of their knowledge of DnD found meaning in watching the onstage role play. I knew nothing about the world of DnD when I signed up, but loved learning about the game and the community.

I love working on new work, especially with dear friends. I'm so proud of this group to put on this fun little play despite hectic schedules, other rehearsals, and university. This labor of love truly paid off!
